Five Things you should know today, July 13, 2012

Contrary to the big story in the Boston Globe yesterday, Mitt Romney was not involved in the day to day operations of Bain Capital after 1999. That’s all he claimed, and it’s true. Guy Benson at Townhall.com has an extensive look at the story.

“I think the intent is for this to be an open and transparent process,” said state Rep. Keiko Orrall, R-Lakeville. “At this point, it hasn’t been.”

Gaming Commission Chairman Stephen Crosby attended the Lakeville forum Thursday at Orrall’s request. The meeting, which was scheduled last week, fell just one day after Gov. Deval Patrick’s administration announced it had completed a compact with the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe, which is seeking to build a tribal casino in East Taunton.
